Enjoy this free short story from award-winning author Madeleine L'Engle's newest book, The Moment of Tenderness, a collection of 18 short stories, some never before published. It was a frigid winter day when Old Mrs. Campbell stormed into the Franklins' general store, decrying the devilish nature of her daughter-in-law-a sentiment that deeply disturbed Mrs. Franklin, considering the woman in question, Alicia, was oft described as "saintly" by everyone around her. When she leaves the store in a huff, Mrs. Franklin thinks she's done with Mrs. Campbell's ravings for the day-until the woman calls her late in the night, urgently demanding to see her. Blending elements of fantasy and horror, what transpires between the two women over the course of the evening will test the boundaries of reason, faith, and family-and prove that, in times of great danger, even strangers can come together to help one another in need.

Elderly Mrs. Campbell sees a far different side of her daughter-in-law, Alicia, than everyone else in town. She comes into the general store ranting about the treatment she receives received from the woman the rest of the town considers “saintly.”
But when she involves Mrs. Franklin in a late-night excursion, what will happen?
This short story, excerpted from “The Moment of Tenderness,” has a twist readers simply won’t see coming. Creepy and dark, the story speaks to neighborly kindness and unexpected revelations. Imaginative and surprising, readers will find this unpredictable little mystery packs quite a punch.
Don’t skip the lovely introduction written by Madeleine’s granddaughter, Charlotte. It’s fascinating . . . .
